We used to eat spinach a lot with cheese sauce when DD was little but havent had it in a long time. This was a really nice side dish that I served with feniag's Recipe #215225. I did use half and half and a parmesan blend shredded cheese. Instead of adding salt I used lemon pepper. Will be saving this one to make again!
